I can get those numbers to anyone who'd like to build one.

Kim not to be demanding but i was wondering if you could post the exact set up of the little traveler here.
Batter,servos,recier,tank etc.

Hey Nitro,

Not a problem at all. I'll start another thread in Off Topic. Keep in mind that I changed some stuff around so that Little Traveler II could fly for at least an hour....AND...I'm sorta "Old School", so some things may seem a bit primitive.

thanks Kim,
didn't you know "Ole scools cool"

I got my Cox Sportavia ready to go yesterday and waited for the wind to stop. As soon as it did me and my dad headed to the flying field and tossed it off. That is an amazing plane!!! I didn't do and loops because I was worried about the wings. But it went up and up until the motor died then it came floating down.

Any chance of a video?

I will work on that today. We have been having issues keeping the motor running in flight. We tossed it off 5 times. 2 of which were a full flight. We think it is the fuel. It is pink omega fuel we use in our bigger motors. We are going to get some car fuel and try that out to see if it works. Also how do I add a video here? I see the one that lets you add a youtube. But none for a video on the computer.

Do you know what cox fuel requirements are?

At least 20% total oil and at least 1/2 of that must be castor.
And 10-30% nitromethane.

Hey, I use this guy's fuel and it's worked great in all my small stuff!

Do you add castor? Glowplugboy only uses 17%

I was asking Godsey if he knew, because he was talking about getting some car fuel which normally has no castor in it.

Glowplugboy fuel is the best fuel for cox motors! Since it's an all-castor blend, 17% is plenty. 24% nitro will keep them singing happily. I use it with all my engines, even the larger ones. Buy it in bulk to save on shipping.

So far, glowplugboy's fuel seems to be great stuff...and I've gone through quite a bit of it (down to my last two quarts, so I'll be warming up the PayPal account soon!). I figured the 3% off castor wouldn't hurt things, along with the nitro being a notch below my other main fuel, Sig 25%.

My engines get run a lot, but I don't push RPM's...if I can get a consistently good, dependable 13-14000 RPM's to drag my little creations around, I'm a happy camper. (Speaking here of Babe Bees and such...I ask a little more from the Tee Dee's !)

Also, as I noted before, he's a very honest, up-front guy...which counts for a lot with me!
